A copy for a good cause
Cornell University Librarys copy of Abraham Lincolns Gettysburg
Address is one of five known copies in Lincoln's hand, and the only copy
owned by a private institution. The four other copies are owned by public
institutions: two at the Library of Congress, one at the Illinois State
Historical Library, and one in the Lincoln Room at the White House.

Cornell University Librarys copy is the only one
accompanied by a letter from Lincoln transmitting the manuscript and by
the original envelope addressed and franked by Lincoln.
